The Special Representative of the President (Gorrigan) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:47 p.m.]
20. Referring to my telegram No. 19, November 23, noon,58 the text of the telegrams sent en clair marked confidential to the two Presidents is informally translated as follows:
“The Mediation Commission, firmly confident of the patriotism and sincere cooperation of Your Excellency’s Government, does not hesitate urgently to request of Your Excellency the strictest vigilance in order to avoid any incident however small, especially in the frontier regions, which might be seriously prejudicial to the high aims of the mediation in progress. We wish equally that whatever causes of friction arising, which might perturb our actions, be communicated by Your Excellency to the Mediation Commission with the certainty that the efforts which it is making to conserve the peace will be placed immediately in motion to try to find a satisfactory solution for each case. We are communicating in identical words with the President of Nicaragua (or Honduras), respectfully yours, signed by all three members of the Commission.”
Repeated to Managua and Tegucigalpa.
